it's the economy. i hate to quote james carville, but it's the economy, stupid, once again. part of why people are focusing on anything but the economy is because economic news is not good. they have not passed a -- any budget much less a balanced budget in years. it is unbelievable. >> quick, because i want to get some sound, but go ahead. >> real quick, this notion that somehow the president and democrats aren't out there talking about the economy is laughable. the problem with the romney campaign is not that they don't talk about the economy. they don't talk about their policies. it's the american people aren't buying it. they do not want to go back -- um not sure what it takes for the romney campaign to observe this revelation. but they do not want to go back to the same policies that created this mess. that is the fundamental problem with the romney campaign. you cannot keep selling what people do not want to buy. >> okay, you know what? jonathan. i want to throw this at you. newt gingrich was on "morning joe" this morning and he was talking about what romney needs to d

the economy is job one. we need to make sure we re-elect president obama, so we can build off the economic process we have started to see as we've turned this economy around. we need to move that forward, not go back to the policies that mitt romney is advocating that would actually hurt the economy and hurt middle class taxpayers. and there's a number of other things that we're going to be working on. we're going to continue to work on immigration reform. the president's taken some steps in the last few months. even with congress opposing him, that have allowed us to make some changes on how we handle immigration. we're going to work on that aggressively, look for partners from both sides of the aisle that are serious on making progress on these issues. but we'll continue to build off those successes in a second term. >> i'm sure you've seen this, the spoof from "saturday night live's" thursday edition this week about the high unemployment numbers. in case you didn't, take a look, take a listen. >> but thin
